1 One Palaeolithic hand-axe from bed of River Sowe at around this grid reference.
2 Exceptionally small cordate hand-axe from the bed of River Sowe adjoining Coventry golf course. Found in June 1946. Such a small hand axe must be dated no earlier than late Acheulian or Levalloisian. The tool probably came from river bed deposits which are in the No 4 terrace.
